Missed calls could be costing you about

$720a week

Your new site sends every quote request straight to your phone and email, so you can call back fast.

How the math works

Missed calls a week × close rate × average job = cost per week. Multiply the weekly cost by 52 to get the yearly cost.

Read the result as an estimate, not a bill.

Not every missed call is a lost job. Some callers ring back, some are spam, and some leave a message you return in time. Count only the calls that went nowhere.
Revenue isn’t profit. The average job is what the customer pays. What you keep after materials and labor is less.
Use your close rate for calls. Your close rate on calls may differ from your rate on web leads or referrals. Use the one for calls.
